Woman's Gotta Have It

Once upon a time a good friend of mine

Told me to tell y'all what I say today

Do the things that keep a smile on her face

Say the words that make her feel better ev'ry day

You bet you better keep on you Ps and Qs

If you don't the woman you can easily lose

Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it

No one seems to understand about the pain that it cost me

Woman's got to have it

I believe that I should know

She's got to know that she's that she's needed around

When you kiss her

You got to make her feel it everyday, boy

She's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground

Think it over

Don't take for granted the smile upon her face

Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace

Maybe the little girl never said a mumbling word

But she's got to know that her voice is heard

Oh, I had a love, it was a true love and I lost it

Now I'm suffering all this pain that the true love cost me

A woman's got to have it

I believe

She's got to know that she's that she's needed around

When you kiss her

You got to let her feel it everyday, boy

She's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground

So if you've got a love

And maybe you've got eyes to keep her

You've got to give her what she wants when she wants it

Where she wants it (all right)

How she wants it

And every doggone time she thinks she needs it

Your woman needs it

The same as mine

A woman got to have it

From time to time
